voice for nick with non Cap 1st letter

2018-04-08T03:41:44-04:00

ok, new information ...

Code:

##  Script: sub voice#namespace eval NickCase {      set channel "#The-Dungeon"   bind join - * [namespace current]::joined   bind nick - * [namespace current]::nick_chk   proc joined {nick uhost hand chan} {      variable channel      if {![string match -nocase $chan $channel]} return      if {![string equal $nick [string totitle $nick]]} {         pushmode $chan +v $nick      }   }      proc nick_chk {nick uhost hand chan newnick} {      variable channel      if {![string match -nocase $chan $channel]} return       set match {expr [regexp -all {[A-Z]} $newnick]}      if {[isvoice $nick $chan]} {         if {$match} {            pushmode $chan -v $newnick         }      } else {         if {!$match} {            pushmode $chan +v $newnick         }      }   }} putlog "sub voice loaded"

Error msg is ..

Tcl error [::NickCase::nick_chk]: expected boolean value but got "expr [regexp -all {[A-Z]} $newnick]"

on top of fixing this can someone please explain to me what the error means??

ok, I copy and pasted the new and it is still not working..

I think I kinda understand what some things are supposed to do..

can we just get rid of the ...

Code:

if {[isbotnick $nick] || ![botisop $chan]} return

and just expect that the bot is an op, because it is.

and sorry, I didn't explain what the original actually does...

if someone comes into channel and the nick first letter is lowercase then that person gets the +v and if they have a Capped nick then nothing and if a nick changes the upper/lower case of the first letter than either +v or -v depending on which they do.. and if nick starts with a non alpha like { or [ or some such then it looks for the first actual alpha character and works from that.

Here's the updated and tested code.

Code:

namespace eval NickCase {set channel "#The-Dungeon"bind join - * [namespace current]::joinedbind nick - * [namespace current]::nickproc joined {nick uhost hand chan} {if {[isbotnick $nick] || ![botisop $chan]} returnvariable channelif {![string match -nocase $chan $channel]} returnif {![string equal $nick [string totitle $nick]]} {pushmode $chan +v $nick}}   proc nick {nick uhost hand chan newnick} {if {[isbotnick $nick] || ![botisop $chan]} returnvariable channelif {![string match -nocase $chan $channel]} returnset match [string equal [string index $newnick 0] [string index [string totitle $newnick] 0]]if {[isvoice $nick $chan]} {if {$match} {pushmode $chan -v $newnick}} else {if {!$match} {pushmode $chan +v $newnick}}}}

The main issue was because of botisop part in:

Code:

if {[isbotnick $nick] || [botisop $chan]} return

that basically means if the bot is channel operator then it would stop executing anything past this line, when in fact wanted to stop the execution only if the bot wasn't channel operator, hence the ! in front of the [botisop $chan] in above "updated" code.

The second issue I've discovered is that string totitle on it's own wasn't enough because it turns SomeNick into Somenick and the previous test:

Code:

if {[string equal $newnick [string totitle $newnick]]} {

basically will test if SomeNick is now equal with Somenick and will fail. So, instead I now take the first letter of the new nick and compare it with the first letter from string totitle result.

An alternative to:

Code:

set match [string equal [string index $newnick 0] [string index [string totitle $newnick] 0]]

could be:

Code:

set match [expr [regexp -all {[A-Z]} $newnick]]

but in a 1000 iterations test the string equal one seems slightly faster, even if it's ugly.

Code:

% time {for {set i 0} {$i < 1000} {incr i} { append mylist [regexp -all {[A-Z]} $newnick] }}1731 microseconds per iteration% time {for {set i 0} {$i < 1000} {incr i} { append mylist [string equal [string index $newnick 0] [string index [string totitle $newnick] 0]] }}1425 microseconds per iteration

you are awesome

but, unfortunately it doesn't work at all

I am trying to learn, but it isn't easy for me so I'm not sure where the issue is.

Haven't tested anything so let me know if doesn't work.
